Colville High School requires seniors to complete at least 15 hours of work on their projects.

Colville Highâ€™s high-flying softball program is certainly capable of replicatingâ€”and even improving uponâ€”last springâ€™s fourth place finish at the State 1A Tournament in Spokane.
A break here or there (remember the Connell game?) and the Indians (24-7) could have been playing for a state championship late last May. Colville finished 3-2 at State and was involved in three one-run games.

Ditto for the boys, who finished 15th at State.
